What are the mods on your motor, what is the jetting and how do you know it is overheating?

The most expensive coolant, or the biggest radiator wont cure a blown head gasket or lean jetting.

Install a billit impeller.

 

A larger radiator isnt needed. It is nice I have one because I trail ride and some times there isnt much air flow. Most overheating problems are cause by crap in the radiator. Over time, and not using distilled water you get a build up of Lime, Calcium, and other crap. It is just hard water. Get a bottle of radiator flush (the good stuff from a parts store) Not a week Prestone, or Peak stuff sold at wally world. Drail the coolant, and flush it out with water. Then put the whole bottle of flush in the radiator, and top off the radiator with distilled water. Run that mix for a while. Then drain and flush with distilled water. Then fill with a mix of distilled water, and antifreeze / coolant, or Engine Ice (it is already mixed, do not add water).
